Ep 98. Systemise Your Business Processes in 6 Steps with Kerry Nelson

What if a key person in your team left tomorrow? Would someone else be able to immediately step in and start doing their role? If not, you’ve got a major risk in your business. The best way to plug that hole is get systems and document them.

But the process of actually documenting systems can feel like a gargantuan task. Many of us grew our business from just one person (ourselves!) and then took on team members. Everything feels very ad hoc and key-person dependent.

In this episode I’m joined by Kerry Anne Nelson, the Business Process Genius (she really is) to share her signature system for extracting all of those business processes and getting them documented.

In this episode, we discuss:

The importance of back end systems and processes

Risk management

Creating a sellable asset

Key ingredients to master to create sustainable systems in your business

Getting help when you need it

Outsourcing

The power of content libraries

Documentation

How to maintain documentation and systems

How to have accountability in your teams
